A flaw was found in GIMP's PSP file format parser. A double-free condition occurs in the read_layer_block() function when processing a specially crafted PSP file. This could allow an attacker to cause memory corruption, potentially leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution.

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1791295129 advisory.

The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1791296305 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in GIMP's PSP (Paint Shop Pro) file parser. A remote attacker could exploit an integer     overflow vulnerability in the read_creator_block() function by providing a specially crafted PSP image     file. This vulnerability occurs when a 32-bit length value from the file is used for memory allocation     without proper validation, leading to a heap overflow and an out-of-bounds write. Successful exploitation     could result in an application level denial of service. (CVE-2026-2271)

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in GIMP, the GNU Image     Manipulation Program, which could result in denial of service or     potentially the execution of arbitrary code if malformed PSP, TIFF,     DDS, PSD, SGI, FLI, FITS or ICNS files are opened.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 3.0.4-3+deb13u10.

    We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages.

The version of gimp installed on the remote host is prior to 2.8.22-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2GIMP-2026-016 advisory.

    A flaw was found in GIMP's PNM file format parser. When parsing a specially crafted PNM file, the     pnmscanner_gettoken() function writes a null terminator one byte past the end of a stack-allocated buffer     due to an off-by-one error in the loop boundary check. This could lead to memory corruption, potentially     resulting in denial of service or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2026-58380)

    A flaw was found in GIMP's PSP file format parser. A double-free condition occurs in the     read_layer_block() function when processing a specially crafted PSP file. This could allow an attacker to     cause memory corruption, potentially leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
